ebity of a flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second Chapter 45 A Man and Woman Alone in a Room *** Rearls While Alexander was calling the butler to unlock the door, Olivia dialed Vanceâs number directly.
âWhat are you up to? Did you lock the door?â Olivia demanded.
On the other end of the line, Vanceâs voice was filled with pride and selfâsatisfaction.
Hey, donât thank me too much. I know you refused to sign with my company because you donât believe I can help you win over my brother. Well, now Iâm showing you my sincerity!â
âAre you insane? Who wants to win over your brother? Open the door right now!â Olivia gritted her teeth, wishing she could strangle this idiot.
Alexander seemed to hear her words and glanced at her.
Vance, oblivious to Oliviaâs growing fury, continued enthusiastically.
âOlivia, donât be shy. Trust me, Iâll keep my promise and make sure you win over my brother. Take advantage of tonightâs chance to be alone with himâgo get him!â Vance hung up before Olivia could even respond.
Downstairs, Vance gleefully put away his phone and exchanged a glance with Liam.
âGrandpa, Iâve got my side handled. How about yours?â Vance asked.
Liain, sipping his tea leisurely, replied, âIâve had everyoneâs phones thrown into the water?
Vance gave Liam a silent thumbsâup.
Genius.
In the room, Olivia tried calling Vance again, only to find his phone turned off.
âNo answer,â Alexander said, his sharp brows knitting together slightly.
He had tried calling the butler and Liam, but no one picked up. It was as if the entire household had vanished.
Taking a deep breath, Olivia said, âIâm kicking the door down.â
She was ready to tear Vance apart.
When Alexander emerged from the bathroom in sleepwear, he saw Olivia trying to kick the door open. The heavy, customâmade door didnât budge.
âItâs customâbuilt, imported, and blastâresistant,â Alexander said coolly.

Olivia cursed under her breath. Rich people are the worst!
442 Pearls Determined, she ran to the balcony door, thinking she could jump off if neededâit was only the second floor.
But the balcony door was locked just as securely.
The universe is out to get me!
With no other options, Olivia and Alexander were stuck in the room together.
Alexanderâs gaze settled on Olivia, unreadable and calm.
She suddenly remembered the scene from when she first woke up after being rebornâright in the middle of drugging Alexander.
Now...
He doesnât think I planned this, does he?
âThis is your brotherâs doing,â Olivia blurted out.
Alexander raised an eyebrow.
Olivia clenched her fists, her desire to murder Vance intensifying.
âSo, youâll have to take responsibility,â she said.
âResponsibility?â Alexanderâs gaze turned even more curious.
Olivia nodded firmly. âIâm sleeping on the bed. Youâre taking the floor.â
Alexander glanced at her, faint amusement flickering in his eyes.
He had initially assumed her recent indifference was a strategy, a pretense to lure him in.
Now, it seemed she wasnât acting at all.
âThere are extra blankets and pillows over there. Youâll sleep...â Olivia rummaged through the closet and pulled out spare bedding, ready to set up Alexanderâs sleeping spot on the floor..
Before she could finish, Alexander stretched out his long legs and lay down on the bed.
Olivia stood frozen, holding the blankets. Is he a demon?
âGet down!â she yelled, furious.
What is wrong with these brothers? Is either of them normal?

Olivia was speechless.
Grumbling under her breath, she spread the bedding on the floor, turned off the lights, removed her glasses, and wrapped herself tightly in the blankets.
Damn capitalists!
Pearls After Olivia settled down, Alexander slowly opened his eyes. In the dim moonlight, his gaze gered on Olivia, cocooned like a silkworm in her blankets. His expression was dark and indecipherable.
